Blackthorn Key

This is a delightful book for maybe 8-12 year olds. I bought it at the recommendation of a student for some of my grandsons and read it to see if it would be appropriate for them. It is! The protagonist is a young teenage boy in 1665 who has been apprenticed to an apothecary Master. It’s a book of adventure and mystery. I have a feeling the entire series would be fun to read.
